Pegasus,

This happens to me too. The only place that I dare ask the person to repeat is with my counselor. He understands me and knows that this happens. One time he repeated something 6 times before I actually heard it. I find that I say things over and over too, kind of like a long stutter. But again the only place I notice is in my counselor's office. I don't know if others just don't want to say anything because they are freaked out by it, or if I really only do it during sessions. When it happens outside of my counselor's office (things being said and me not hearing or comprehending them), I usually do not know what to say and then the person gets angry with me for my silence. When you find out what to do or have a better strategy, please share it with me because I am socially awkward as it is anyway without adding this ontop. With this I am viewed as a freak and most people don't talk to me anyway. I know this didn't help any, but I just had to get it out.
